A product action performs an action on a product option, such as selecting or
deselecting the option within its bundle, or hiding the option from view. Product actions target
options based on the parent product rule’s scope, conditions, and evaluation event. You can also
use product action fields to change the action’s target scope. (Salesforce CPQ Managed Package)

A Product action target one or more product options in all quotes to which the parent product
rule applies. You can choose either one product option or use filtering logic to apply the action
to a group of products that fall within the filter. For example, you could target all products
where the product name contains “US.”
Important You can use product actions on only product rules with a Type field set to
Selection.
Example
An IT hardware distributor has a catalog where several products have different US and UK
versions. They would like a quote setup where sales reps can choose which region's products are
displayed. You can configure this beginning with the following product rule.
Product Rule
Conditions Met: All
Scope: Product
Evaluation Event: All
Type: Selection
Active: Selected
Add two product actions to this rule. These actions use filter to automatically display all
product with product names containing “US” and hide all products with product names containing “UK.”
Product Action 1 - Show US Products
Type: Show
Filter Field: Product Name
Operator: Contains
Filter Value: US
Product Action 2 - Hide UK Products
Type: Hide & Remove
Filter Field: Product Name
Operator: Contains
Filter Value: UK
You can then create a second rule with action that shows all UK products and an action that
hides all US products. This setup has almost all the same values as your first product rule.
Switch around “US” and “UK” in each action’s filter value and make sure that the product rule
has a fitting name.
Product Action Fields To create or modify a product action, enter the information in the appropriate fields. Some fields aren’t visible or editable depending on the page layout and field-level security settings. (Salesforce CPQ Managed Package)
